  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Its good on most surfaces, The only surface it suffers on it broken tarmac/pot holes. The steering is good for its size. If I had the chance to chose a different engine I would get a minimum of a 1.6 petrol as my 1.4 struggles as its a big car for a 1.4 petrol. Gear shifts can be less than smooth on occasion.

    Quite easy,the thick front pillars make observastion hard sometimes depending on surroundings.
